Just sent an email off to them as well. If they really do CBSA/immigration in Vancouver then Cathay it is.

Hey Steph, I saw your message in the Coffee Social.

Please if you know any Canadian men you don't like I can hook them up. I found her profile online at cherryblossoms.com posing in her undies.. hee hee. Looking for a man *any age*

Got me curious so I thought maybe I would create a profile and check it out... But you know coming up with what to say on any profile is hard... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF-YyEtE2vk

I finally gave up...

:p

Wow, PAL was pretty quick with a response...

I asked:
I am interested in the Toronto-Manila flights. I have checked the prices and flight times and everything but I am unclear about the stop in Vancouver. I have heard that in Vancouver the passengers must go through CBSA/immigration and then get back on the plane. Others have said you stay on the plane and CBSA/immigration is performed in Toronto. I was hoping someone from your office could clear this up for me.

and they replied:
Hi Eric-the-half-a-bee,

Thank you for your interest in flying with Philippine Airlines. To clarify the stopover in YVR from MNL-YYZ, here is what will happen: From MNL, we make a stopover in YVR for about an hour to an hour and a half.

The passengers will be asked to deplane and will be in a holding lounge after which you will be asked to board the plane again. If final destination is YYZ, customs clearance and luggage claim will be in YYZ as well.

Hope this clarifies your question. Please let me know if you need further information and assistance in booking. Alternatively, you can also call our office at 905-405-8774.


Kind Regards,
Philippine Airlines Toronto

All bee, hmmm ;D

Sitting in a holding pen in YVR for an-hour-to-an-hour-and-a-half does not sound like fun, especially since YVR - YYZ seems so long.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of making a Manila - Wiki. Much like the one that's floating around but perhaps one that can be user edited?

We could included all the details that our great hive mind has come up with. Like a FAQ
